History of rugby union matches between England and Italy

The national rugby union teams of England and Italy have been playing each other in Test rugby since 1991, and by February 2015, they had met in 21 test matches, all won by England.

Their first meeting was on 8 October 1991 in the 1991 Rugby World Cup, England won 36 - 6. England have played Italy three times in Rugby World Cups, once in a qualifier at Huddersfield. Italy's inclusion into the Six Nations Championship in 2000 has ensured regular meetings between the sides.

England have dominated the matches between the sides despite some excellent, spirited displays by Italy, who have yet to register their first win or draw in the fixture.
